Magnificent Southern Meatloaf

There has been versions of meatloaf recipes dating back to the fourth or fifth century in a Roman cookbooks. However, it has been a staple in many American households since the great depression. Meatloaf has become one of this country’s favorite comfort foods especially for Sunday dinners.

No my history is a little different. Meatloaf in my house was rare. I just don’t think it was one of my mom’s favorite dishes. As a result, I just sort of forgot about it to tell you the truth. When I became an adult, I was dating this fella who invited me over for dinner at his mother’s home. She served meatloaf. Long story short, I spent the entire dinner trying to choke down this dry slice of meat with ketchup slathered on top of it. It was awful. I was polite and finished the meal, but boy – I was just really confused as to why it tasted so bad. I swore off meatloaf for good.

Fast forward about eight year when I was dating my now awesome hubby. We were sitting around trying to figure out what to have for dinner and he said “Babe, I just realized that you’ve never made me meatloaf.” So, I called my mom, got a few pointers, checked out a couple of recipe books, and went to work on creating my first meatloaf. To my surprise it turned out pretty good. Over the years I have revised my recipe many times and eventually came up with the juiciest and most flavorful meatloaf that I have ever had.

I hope you guys give it a try and let me know what you think. You can find the video tutorial of it here!
